Equinox 80mm Information please.
moriniboy replied to Alan White's topic in Discussions - Scopes / Whole setups
I had a dew shield adaptor made so l could use it as a Ha scope with a Solarmax 60. -
Anyone notice what's wrong with this PST. Hope no one from here shelled out £300 for this.

They work perfectly well without them, but I use one as it is supposed to make the granulation more pronounced (never tried a side by side so can't confirm this) A single polarising filter attached to the base of an ep will provide variable brightness to suit your eyes

DIY refractor for solar projection questions
moriniboy replied to Rhushikesh-Canisminor's topic in DIY Astronomer
The obvious answer seems to be a solar film cell on the front of the objective to keep the energy out of the tube, but the solar funnel may not work as well. The only other way is to limit the time spent looking at the sun to reduce the heat build up, but i'm sure you will have assessed this already. Will your mount be driven? -
Thanks, missed that, at least rockystar is awake. PADAS facebook link

Sorry can't help you re make of dob as we bought it second had recently with no provenance apart from it having Oldham Optics mirrors. Must admit its been put together very well and with what looks like ptfe sliding blocks its very easy to track objects like the ISS.
